Summary : Between ice caps and ice floes, past glaciers, icebergs and brash ice, sail to the heart of the northern hemisphere's biggest ice producer. You will stop over at Skraeling Island, the northernmost point reached by the Vikings, then return via the path taken by the famous American expedition led by Adolphus. From Greenland's west coast with its mountains softened by glaciers to the steep slopes of the Arctic mountain ranges and vast high Arctic Thule tundra, you will be sailing through the polar region's most spectacular landscapes. Journey to see amazing fauna: polar bears, musk ox and Arctic wolves.

Disembark the vessel and transfer to the airport for your flight to Paris.

Patagonia Expedition

Luxury Expedition Ship
Le Soleal

Most Memorable – Hiking in Patagonia during the spring with all the wild flowers in bloom. Also, landing on Cape Horn and standing at the very end of the South American point looking out to sea. Cruise staff were wonderful.
ExpeditionTrips gave me recommendations on taxi service to set up for my arrival into Santiago. Also reached out to cruise company when I found out my flight was delayed.
